  • Riflescope Instruction Manual
    Riflescope Instruction Manual 10-13 Congratulations on your choice of a Bushnell® Banner® riflescope. It is a precision instrument constructed of the finest materials and assembled by highly skilled craftsmen for a lifetime of trouble-free use under the most demanding conditions. This booklet will help you achieve optimum performance by explaining how to use its various features and how to care for it. Read the instructions carefully before mounting and using your scope. The following photographs are guides to the nomenclature and location of the riflescope parts mentioned throughout this text. Power Change Ring Fast Elevation Adjustment Focus Ring Shoulder Adjustable Objective (Parallax Compensation) Eyepiece (selected models only) Windage Adjustment Objective Lens 2 EYEPIECE FOCUSING The eyepiece is designed to provide a precise fast focus. The eyepiece will focus faster than your eye can compensate for any inaccuracy in your adjustment. Look at a distant object for several seconds without using your scope. Then, shift your vision quickly, looking through the scope at a plain background. Turn the fast-focus eyepiece clockwise or counter clockwise to adjust to your eyes. The reticle pattern should be sharp and clear before your eye can refocus. After you have made your adjustment, with a quick glance re-check the image. WARNING: NEVER LOOK AT THE SUN THROUGH THE RIFLESCOPE (OR ANY OTHER OPTICAL INSTRUMENT). IT MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR EYES. CENTERING THE RETICLE The reticle was carefully set at the optical center of your riflescope at our factory. This setting provides you with the ideal adjustment range from the center position. The riflescope’s adjustments are used to zero-in the riflescope.

  • Association of Firearm & Tool Mark Examiners Glossary 6
    ASSOCIATION OF FIREARM & TOOL MARK EXAMINERS GLOSSARY 6th Edition Version 6.110619 About the Glossary GLOSSARY OF THE ASSOCIATION OF FIREARM AND TOOL MARK EXAMINERS Edited by the AFTE Standardization and Training Committee Version 6.110619 Sixth Edition - 2013 Fifth Edition – 2007 Fourth Edition - 2001 All Rights Reserved Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 79-56452 First Edition – 1980 Second Edition - 1985 Third Edition – 1994 i Contributors Association of Firearm and Tool Mark Examiners Training and Standardization Committee The first edition of this glossary of the Association of Firearm and Tool Mark Examiners (AFTE) was produced by the AFTE Standardization Committee in 1980. This committee was formed at the 1977 training conference at Virginia Beach, VA, in recognition of a need for a common frame of reference and clear definitions of the terms most frequently used in the discipline. This pioneering group consisted of the following individuals: George R. Wilson, Chairman Metropolitan Police, D.C. James Berglund, Member Michigan State Police Don Gunnell, Member Chicago Police Department Evan Hodge, Member Vermont State Police Marshall K. Robinson, Member Waterbury Connecticut Police Department John G. Ward, Sr., Member Virginia Division of Forensic Sciences This committee eventually produced two additional editions of the AFTE Glossary in 1986 and 1994, with great success. The uniquely forensic perspective reflected in these three editions have been a great assistance to thousands of forensic firearms examiners and toolmark examiners for decades. As the original Standardization Committee realized, this type of reference work can never be regarded as complete. In any forensic discipline, innovations and developments rapidly enter the field constantly and must be addressed.
